My invention relatesfto calendar making,-l a-nd more'specifically` to animproved method; by which calendars comprising pendent leaves Awithexhibitionsin serial'order on cor- ,5 responding faces of the leaves maybe madeV in an economical and facile manner;

For illustration of the practice'of thein'- vention,4 I will refer tothe production of cerf ltai-n calendars, making reference to diagrams 10shown in the accompanying drawings; these diagrams and the descriptionwith reference thereto being exemplary of methods embodying theinvention. i A 'In said drawings: Fig. l'is adiagram ofa sheet'preparedfor use in making a'calendar of twelve leaves to" exhibit calendartables for the twelve months of the year on the fronts'of the leaves;

Fig.y 2 is a perspective view of a completedv Fig. 3 is a diagram of asheet for making a calendar of eight leaves including front and backcovers and having exhibitions in serial order on the fronts ofthe leavesandrin "25T continuing serial order on the backs of the leaves when thecalendar isreversed and the y leaves are turned over from back to front;V

Fig. 4: is a diagram of asheet similar to Figi d l prepared for making atwo year calendar. In a method embodying my invention, a calendar ismade up by imposing vcalendar page exhibitions,comprising or includingexhibitions of calendar tables,.fo`n a sheetv in an arrangement wherebythe sheetk can be 85 folded between the exhibitions so asvto'term'inatewith a final saddle fold of superposed parts of the 'sheet and with theexhibitions vertical and headed toward the saddlefold y v and in serialorderor properV sequence on corf responding faces ofthe successivelayers-of the folded sheet, or partly in serial order `'on the fronts ofsaid layers and the remainder in continuing reverse serial order `on the45 backsof said layers; then folding the sheet as aforesaid, stitchingor binding along vthe saddle fold, and cutting or trimming fthe;`

folded sheet along the fold lines other than at the saddle fold; Acomplete finished caiaendar may be made up `in this wayfrom a" orreverse 'side of uch for printed sheet and fastening devices s instanceas'two stitches or staples.

dor' exam-ple, I will first refer to an illustrative method of producinga calendarof twelve pendentfleaves having exhibitions comprisingtablesfor the successive months of the year 'appearingin serial order onthe frontsffpof the successive leaves; 'For produc lar calandar, .whichremaining exhibitions are for convenience Ymerely diagrammatically. ,in

i dicated Symbols 'comprising abbreviations ornames 'of the successivemonths of the yearlj -1Lxhibitions on the obverse or front side`ofthesheet are represented by symbols in full" line's',`,andjexhibitions on the opposite y y the sheet are indicated .byvsymbols in dotted lines.A f The shee'trepresentedinFig..l may be 0011-'sidered as comprisingwon eachside twelve page Jspaces 'bounded by themargins and imaginarylines herein indicatedV by the dashaiiddot'llines'I-l, Q /2, Qaa, 3-3, StL-3a,

and %Li,"whichrareuntended foldy lines ofthe sheet. Itwill be observedthat theobverse or front 'sidevof` the sheetbears the calendar` vexhibitions comprising the tables vfor the a1- ternate months ofJanuary, March, `May,"

July,fSeptember and November, which oc-r cupyf alternate page spaces onthe sheet. "All the exhibitions are arranged vertically with respect `tothe horizontalfold line ii-4, the exhibitions above the line beingtherefore in vertedV with respect tothose below the line. The`exhibitions above t'hehorizontal liner are'in staggered orcheckeredrelation to thos'e'below `the line, or inother words theexhibitions ofeither side of the Vhorizontal fold line come opposite-theblank spaces-at the 1 opposite side of the Vline. 0n the opposite orreverseside'p-of the sheet are imposed the ex# A hibitions comprisingcalendar tables .for the posite the blank spaces of the front or obversemade so that the leaf portion 5 ofi the sheet side of the sheet. Thesheet is intended to be folded as aforesaid with a final saddle fold bywhich the first or January table will ap; pear on the front of thefolded vsheet superposed on theother tables,`and the order in which thevarious exhibitions are imposed on particular way in which the sheet isto be folded on the vertical fold lines before-folding on the horizontalfold line to produce the saddle fold. i

as illustrate-d, will be folded first byv doubling or folding the sheeton the central vertical fold line 1`-l, this fold being made in such aand' registering fold .lines 3v-8 and fia-.39; f

the fold on the lines 2-'-2 and 2al being is turned to the left andbrought 'facedownward on the leaf portion Gof the shee'tlbear'- ingtheMay calendar table; whilethefold on theV registering-fold lines 3-43'and' 5a-3a is made in the opposite direction so that thel leaf portion7 of thesheet bearing the J anuvary table is turned to the back.A Thisbrings all the sheet illustrated in Fig. `1 superposed on the areasoccupied by the leaves 7 and `8. 'A Vfinal fold is then made bycross-folding on the horizontal line lf-4: in such direction as to leavethe leaf portions? VVand 8 exposed or on the' outside. VThe sheet thusfolded 40 will have itsexhibitions'inserial order onjcorrespondingVfaces of superposed layers or leaf portions of the .folded sheet. Thelfolded sheet may be bound at saddle fold, as for example by a pair ofstitches or staples uniting thesuperposed parts of the folded sheet. Iny the diagram injFig.` l, l have indicated by dots at 41 andby crossesat 42 the points Vwherethe Vright and left-'hand kstaples will f Aperfora. f tion at may be made through all the layers of the folded'sheet vadjacentY the stitched respectively pierce the paper.

saddley fold to provide a Yconvenient means for suspending the calendar,the f Various duced ,a calendar vsuch as shown in Fig. 2,-

comprising twelve pendentleaves provided* by six saddlerfolded sheetswhich `are sub-l points for the perforations being indicated inthediagrani -atj50. All the edges Aof the folded calendar sheet may betrimmed except at the saddle fold. There will thusbeV pro` to they back`of; the calendar, In Fig. f2, the

, central vertical'fold line l-,l in a direction l The sheet,havingtheexhibltions imposed.

stitches or staples at the saddle fold are in# dicated at 4l and 41h.

The principle explained may be applied, for example, to the productionof a calendar of only eight leaves including front and back covers andhaving twelve pages of calendar tables', for instance tables for thetwelve months of, the year, by utilizing both sides of the sheet'.` Forthe production of such a calendar, I may impose the page exhibitions onalsheetias indicated by the diagram of- Fig. 3. This sheet compriseseight page spaces on each side, and is intended to be foldedtherebetween first by folding on the to bring the'left-hand half of the.sheety under the right-hand half` ofthe sheet, then` folding thedoubled sheet on the registered foldlines 2 2 and 2-2a in a direction tosuperpose the cover'portions 9 and l0 onthe rest of the` sheet, and thencross-folding the super posed parts of the sheet on'the horizontal foldline'll-Vvina direction to leave the .cover sheet portions l9 and 10exposed or on theloutside, so thatthe front cover leafportionv) issuperposed'ontherest of the sheet. It, will be observed that thefirst/half" of theexhibitions (comprising the front Vcover exhibition,the tables for January to nJune inclusive, and the exhibition, ifany,`onthe inside of the back cover) are imposed on alternate spacesori-'opposite sides of the sheet, in an'arrange-` ment generally similarto,that.explained.With referenceV to Fig, l. Thus, Aon' .the sheet inVFig. 3,".the exhibitions comprising the front cover pageand theJanuary, February and March tables occupy alternate leaf portions of thesheet belowthehorizontal fold line g' the .front cover page and Februarytable appearing on alternate spacesontheobverse or front side of thesheet, andthe January andfMarchtab'les appearing on the oifsetj'alternate'.spaces on the opposite or. reverse side ofthe sheet. VAbovethe horizontal fold Y line, the exliibitionscomprising the April, Mayand June tables and the exhibitions, if.l anyon the outside .of the.back cover simil larlyfoccupy alternate leafv portions of the sheetthefAprilV and June tables being onV the obverse side of the sheet andthe others.

on the reverse side. Onthe obverse side orl` frontof the sheet', thesaid exhibitions com-f prising the front cover .page and February tablebelow the horizontal fold line are staggered in relation to the saidexhibitions comprising'the'April and June tables above the horizontalfold liner; [and likewise on the reverse sideof the sheet the Januaryrandlf VMarch tables are on spaces staggered or checkered. inrelation 'to the 'spaces occupied Y bythe MayV table andinside page ofthe back cover. The secondhalf of the calendar pages (comprising theoutside of the back cover,

; the tables for July to December inclusive, and the exhibitions, Vifany, on the insideY ofthe .i1-.acatar sheet on the next adjacent leafportion theref of; and so on as indicated in the: drawing. In Fig. 3,the points at which the stitches or staples will connect the superposedportions tions made in the folded sheet or completed calendar will be inthe secured leaves, are indicated by the numerals 41, 112 and 50 in thesame manner as in Fig. 1. TWhen theV sheet of Fig. 3 is folded in themanner heretofore stated, stitched along the horizontal fold line andcut along the vertical fold lines, there is produced a calendar ofeightleaves, l provided by four stitched saddle folded sheets whicharesubdivisions of the original sheet, the exhibitions of which arein'sequence half on the frontsof the calendar leaves and the remaininghalf on the backs of the lea-ves In other words, after turning over theleaves from ront to back to display succes sively the tables for Januaryto June inclusive, the calendar may be reversed and the leaves turnedsuccessively from bach to front to display successively the tables forJuly to December inclusive.

In Fig. 4, l have diagrammatically indicated how a sheet similar to thatshown in Fig. 1 may be pre-pared by utilization of all the page spacesfor making up a calendar having a continuing series of exhibitions inreverse order on the backs of the leaves, in accordance with theprinciple embodied in the calendar made up from the sheet of Fig. 3. Thesheet. represented in Fig. 4 is prepared 1 for making up a twelve `leafcalendar which will serve for two years, `With a reversal of thecalendar at the end ofthe first year, the tables for one year being inserial order on the fronts of the leaves and the tables for the nextyear being in serial order on the Abacks of the leaves commencing at theback. F or example, the sheet is printed with page exhibitionscomprising monthly calendar tables for the years 1928 and 1929. IThesheet of Fig. 3 is identica-l with the sheet of Fig. 1 in respect to thepage spaces, intended fold lines and mode of folding, and with respect lto the arrangement and order of the monthly tables for one year, in thisinstance the year 1928. On the page spaces'on both sides of the sheetalternating with those occupied by the 1928 tables, the y1929 tables areimposed. rlhe orderof the 1929table'is of course reversed; the Januaryi929 table being opposite the December 1928 table, andthe other .1929tables being as indicated.

What I claim is: i

l. A method ofproducing a calendar comsuccessive calendarVprising:leaves and having exhibitions in- .cluding calendar tables 1nserial @order yon corresp oriding--l lfaces of successiv leaves,

VchairacterizedEby providing asheetbfa ver 'ti al dimension'suilicient'for theY lengths Tof ,.1 .tvv-'o .individual leaves and of a horizontaidiinens'ion suicient for the Widths of .half the numberof leaves,limposing said exhibitions half on one side and half on the-,opposite;side '-iofithe sheetV in twozhorizontal rows of; verh of thefolded sheet, and at which the perforaiside instaggered positions atopposite sides 1, o irhe'inedial horizontal' line of the sheet and,iti-sh the exhibitions arranged with' their heads toward 'saidmedial'horizontalline and in suchpositions and order Aas to bring thei-nin sequence en correspondingfacesof successive laps ofthe sheet whenfolded as here'- y inafter mentioned, folding 'the sheet verticallybetween the exhibitions and thenl crossh folding thexsame on ysaid`medial horizontal line, cutting the foldedsheet along the 'verticalfold 'lines `and stitchiiig the folded por y tions ofthe sheet togetheralong-the horir/.ontal fold line, "thereby producing :stitched ddlefolded sheets comprising subdivisions of the original sheetaiid'fornjiing a collection oftl pendent leaves having uprightexhibit-ions serial order on the corresponding faces of successiveleaves. f

E2. A method of producing'a calendar comprising leaves and havingexhibitions including calendar tables in serial order on correspondingfaces of successive leaves, Vwhich is characterized by providing a sheethaving a length dimension substantially equal to the length of anindividual leaf multiplied by an even number, folding said sheet aplurality of times on lines between the exhibitions to terminate with afinal saddlefold perpen-l dicular to the length dimension, imposing saidexhibitions on the sheet before foldingy in the positions necessary tobring them after folding into the desiredsequence on corresponding facesof successive leaves with their heads toward said` saddle fold, cuttingthe folded sheet alongthe fold lines .other than the saddle fold,andbinding the saddle fold, thereby producing a bound collection of saddlefolded sheetscomprising subdivisions of the original sheet andprovidingthe said leaves and having the said exhibitions in serial order on thecorresponding faces of the successive leaves and headed toward thebinding ofthe leaves. Y

3. A method of producing a calendar comprising leaves and havingexhibitions including calendar tables in serial order on correspondingfaces of successive leaves and reverse faces of successive leaves,characterized kby providing a sheet of a vertical dimension sufficientfor they lengths of two individual leaves and of a horizontal dimensionsufficientv gli Y sides of the medial-horizontal line v'of the-sheet lvfor thefvvidths-of half'the number of leaves,`

imposing said exhibitionsv on the opposite side of the sheet in verticalpositions at oppowith the heads of the exhibitions toward said line,'half of the exhibitions being'im'- posedlac'cording to claim lV in suchpositions and order as to bring them in sequence on corresponding facesof successive layers of the -sheet When folded as hereinafter mentionedand the remaining half being similarly im# posed in the alternatingpositions andV in such order as to bring them in a reverse sey Y quenceon the reverse sides of said layers of f the folded sheet,V folding thesheet on the vertical lines betvve'enthe exhibitions and thencross-folding the same on said'medial horizontal line, cutting thefolded sheet along the vertical fold lines and stitching along thehorizontal fold line, thereby producing Y stitched' saddle folded`sheets comprising subdivisionslof vthe original sheet and forming acollectionof pendent leaves'with upright exhibitions half in serialorder onithe fronts v of the leaves and the remaining lhalf in reverseserial order on thebacks of the leaves.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to. this specification.
